Cover Crops 25 Shrubs & Sub-Shrubs Charts Great Basin Seed SEED CATALOG Foreword The internet and modern technology have placed the vast majority of cataloged human knowledge in the palm of our hands. Books, journals, manuals and print catalogs have taken a back seat to instant search results. Pictures and videos provide detail and context superior to most Great Basin Seed printed works. There are situations, however, where value remains in doing things the old fashioned way. In matters of land stewardship and agriculture, a Monday - Thursday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM MST day in the field with the plants and the soil have a way of connecting us Friday: 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM MST to the heart of matters in ways that (because we love to get an early start on our weekend) cyberspace cannot. And while we fully embrace modern technology and it’s immeasurable benefits, a tactile reference like this catalog can still go with you to places the internet cannot. This catalog represents 45 years of field work, study and hands-on experience. We hope it is beneficial. @greatbasinseeds We intend for it to work hand-in- @greatbasinseed hand with our website. You will find thousands of photographs, videos, blog posts, FAQ’s and customer reviews there to assist you. And if you simply can’t find an answer to your question, give us a call. This catalog is a complementary publication of Great Basin Seed. Additional copies are free of charge.

Brackston Dutson Back Cover: Brackston Dutson 1 JASON STEVENS: Owner While working alongside Lloyd at Maple Leaf, Jason started Great Basin Seed in 2004 as an independent business venture to see if seed could be sold on the internet. Online sales grew steadily until 2015 when siblings Jason, Eric and Heidi purchased Maple Leaf from Lloyd and merged the efforts and resources of both companies. Jason graduated from Utah State University with a BA in 1997. His roles include government sales, corporate sales, production contracts, internet sales, advertising and marketing, grower contracts and native seed collection efforts. Never satisfied with the status quo, he keeps things interesting with new ideas and ventures. When not at work he enjoys floating rivers, hiking, rock climbing, camping, hunting, shooting sports, exploring and world travel. His greatest joys in life are his wife and children. ERIC “ZEKE” STEVENS: Owner With a background in mechanics and constrution, “Zeke” manages day-to-day operations, facilities and production lines, construction and expansion projects, and our fleet. He maintains grower relations and a network of dealers. He manages truckload freight and during harvest season is found in the combine cutting grain. Hobbies include hunting, shed hunting, fishing, shooting and the outdoors. He and his wife Lydia have four daughters and a son who also loves the outdoors. Eric is a dedicated public servant. He has been an active member of the Ephraim Fire Dept for twenty two years and the Sanpete County Search and Rescue for ten years. HEIDI STEVENS : Owner As a child Heidi swept the warehouse at Maple Leaf Seed and cleaned the offices. She graduated from Snow College with a degree in business management in 1998 and started working full time at Maple Leaf managing billing and invoices. She bought Maple Leaf with her three siblings in 2015 and still manages payables and receivables. Other roles include LTL freight, payroll, and office management. Heidi has an affable personality and enjoys talking to people. She loves summer and enjoys hiking and movies. She is dog and cat lover and manages the “feline rodent control system” in the office and warehouses. LLOYD STEVENS: Founder Our journey in the seed industry started with Lloyd. He started Maple Leaf Seed Company in 1974 with a few small bags of seed and a dream. He turned it into a thriving, influential and competitive business. Maple Leaf was highly influential during the CRP days of the early 80’s (see page 22). Under the influence of his opportunistic eye, gregarious nature and entrepreneuring spirit Maple Leaf has been a major contributor in agriculture, disturbed land reclamation and fire rehabilitation in the western USA for 45 years. He sold Maple Leaf to Jason, Eric and Heidi in 2015 and they combined Great Basin Seed and Maple Leaf into one business. Lloyd is enjoying partial retirement and still comes into the office to do business with his friends and share his talents with us. He is truly one of the godfathers of the native seed industry. 45 YEARS IN THE SEED INDUSTRY: We have been in the seed business since 1974.

  • Water-Wise and Native Plant Demonstration Garden
    LaBonte Park’s Outdoor Learning Center Water-Wise and Native Plant Demonstration Garden This collaborative effort was undertaken in fall 2007 to showcase the wide variety of water- wise plants that can be grown in Laramie. Most are also well-adapted to other locations in the state. These drought-tolerant species can be used in naturalistic settings or in more for- mal gardens. Either way, you’ll end up with a landscape that uses less water, takes up less of your time, and looks great! Updated 8/2012 N The north side of this garden is dedicated to plants that are native to our area including the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains re- gions. Note: This map will be revised every 2-3 years. It may not be to- tally accurate when you visit but it will be close.

It bas become increuingly evt­ dent that such detalled information 11 essential for the precise interpre­ tation of the results of physiological and agronomic research. Recent researches (Barnard, 1955; Holt, 19M) have demonetrated a need for broader coverage of anatomical knowledge in the genera of the famUy Grammeae, with empbasll on the cytohlltology of noral initiation. The literature on this IUbject bas been reviewed in a prevtoU8 paper (Hott, 19M).

  • THE SUITABILITY of NATIVE WARM-SEASON GRASSES for EQUINE Shayan M
    THE SUITABILITY OF NATIVE WARM-SEASON GRASSES FOR EQUINE Shayan M. Ghajar Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Crop & Soil Environmental Sciences Benjamin F. Tracy, Chair Bridgett McIntosh Harold McKenzie John Fike June 5, 2020 Blacksburg, Virginia The suitability of native warm-season grasses for equine Shayan M. Ghajar Abstract (Academic) Introduced cool-season grasses are dominant in Virginia’s grasslands, but their high digestible energy and non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) levels pose a risk for horses prone to obesity and laminitis. Native warm-season grasses (NWSG) have lower digestible energy and NSC levels that may be more suitable for horses susceptible to laminitis. The overall objectives of this research were to 1) assess voluntary intake, toxicological response, and apparent digestibility of NWSG hays fed to horses; 2) evaluate the characteristics of three NWSG species under equine grazing; and 3) evaluate establishment strategies for NWSG and wildflowers in Virginia. For the first objective, a hay feeding trial was conducted with 9 Thoroughbred geldings in a 3 x 3 Latin square design. Voluntary dry matter intake of indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans) and big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) hays by horses were 1.3% and 1.1% of BW/d, significantly lower than orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata), an introduced cool-season grass, at 1.7% of BW/d. Biomarkers for toxicity remained within acceptable ranges for all treatments. Apparent DMD did not differ among hays, ranging from 39 to 43%. Non-structural carbohydrate levels were below the maximum recommended concentration for horses susceptible to laminitis.
